A Remarkable Animal.

The lama will bear neither beating
noril treatment. They go in troops,
an Indian walking a long distance
ahead as a guide. If the lamas are
tired they stop, and the Indian stops
also. If the delay be too great, the
Indian, becoming uneasy toward sun
set, after all due p~recaution, resolves
OH s%upplicating the beasts to resume
their journey. He stands about fifty
or sixty PAGES off, in an attitude of
humility, waving his hand coaxingly
toward them, looks at them with ten
derness, and at the same time, in the
softest tones, reiterates,-"Ic, ic, ic!!"
If the lamas are disposed to resume
their journey, they follow the Indian in
good order and at a regular pace, but
very fast, for their legs are very long;
but when they are in ill humor they do
not even turn toward the speaker, but
remain motioiless, huddled together,
standing or lying down, and gazing on
heaven with ia look so tender and
melancholy that we might be led to
imagine that these singular and inter-
esting animals had the consciousness
of another life or a happier state Of
existence.
The straight neck, and its gentle
majesty of bearing, the long down of
their always cl an and glossy skin,
their supple and timid motion, all give
them an air AZ onc sensitive and
noble. The lama is the only creature
employed by man that he dare not
strike. If it happens (Which is very
seldom the case that an Indian wishes
to obtain, either by force, or even by
thaeats, what the lama will not will
ingly perform. the instant the animal
finds itself aiIronted by words or ges-
ture he raises his head with dignity,
and without making any attempt to
escape ill-treatment by flight, he lies
down, turning his look toward heaven;
large tears flow freely from his beauti-
full eyes, signs issue from his bosom,
and in a half or three quarters of an
hour at most he expires.
The respect shown these animals by
the Peruvian Indian amounts ahso-
lutely to superstition reverence. When
the Indian loads them, two approach
and caress the animal, hiding his head,
that he may not see the load on his
back. 1t is the same in unloading.
The Indians of the Cordilleras alone
have sufficient patience and gentleness
to manage the lama.

Casting Bells.

There is alwtyS risk of failure in
casting large lis. IN 'ertainty whether
the bell viii b. omd when cast, and
liability to ,vs,tnal fracture. The
transportation al such heavy weights
as bells of larvr dimensions to their
destination. and the hanging of them
when there, are always matters for
serious consi i,rltion. 1t will be re-
membered what preparations were
made and precautions taken for the
transport of the seat bell to st. Paul's,
and the diff .u,ty of its hosting and
hanging; and aoy, being hung, it would
be dangerous 10 SWING its enormous
weight-soma e:giteen tons. 1t is of
interest to nos therefore, that in Eng
land a bell has been invented which
is claimed to oAviate all these Difficult
ties. This be- rs we lind it described,
is not cast, bu .iIde of metal bent or
spun to shape. \ bell may be made Of
several pieces solIered together. The
vibrations last twenty-five seconds,
and the overtones or harmonics are
quite p%erceptible. %Theinyentor guaran-
tees to produce n bell weighing one
ton which shall b ~ musical and efic-
lent as an ordin - Jt.l OF twenty tons.
Various attem1., ave been made to
use sheet metal 4tii but they have all
ililed hithert }: md the reason why
the inventor hrs attained an unprece-
dented success sieIj TO he that he has
hit on q pecul.ar aliDy. Which appears
to possess someIem Wkable properties.
1t is well known tlat ordinary bell
metal is hard IN | brittle. In the pres
ent case, however, q method has been
discovered by whi:h bell metal is pro-
duced which viii ba resonant in a very
high degree, BAT admits Of being bent.
1t bears, that is to say. about the same
relation to ordinary bell metal that
malleable cast iron bears to ordinary
cast iron. Although the inventor, Mr..
Hoffman of London, is confident that
he can produce a very large bell in this
way, he has not made any, and it re-
mains to be seen how far he will be
successful; but he has done enough
already to excite the interest and claim
the attention of every campanologist-
Iron Age.

New Caledonia.

New Caledonia is neither more nor
less than a penal settlement of France,
and it has absorbed as many criminals
rs the French Government dare send.
But away some two hundred miles to
the northeast there lies q fair range of
islands, Which are not only beautiful
and fertile in themselves but which
seem to present quite a succession of
comfortably isolated residences for
those who leave France at the expense
of their country and for their country's
good.
The new IIebrides Archipelago COM
prise some twenty islands, large and
small, the largest being Espiritu Santo,
which measures about seventy miles
in length by about thirty in breadth.
The aborigihes of the group have all
come from the same Papuan stock; yet
not only do they differ very much in
physical aspect, but tribes are abso-
lutely foreigners to other tribes. Not
only has each island its own language,
but so also has each tribe; at any rate,
it is recorded that IN one of the islands
alone there are six native towns in
which six distinct languages are spoken.
These languages, no doubt, have all a
certain affinity, yet they are marked by
differences somewhat broader than
what we are accustomed to regard as
dialects. This confusion of tongues is
n of the most remarkable character.
istics of the New Hebrides, as well as
n of the greatest difficulties with
which Christianizing and civilizing in
tiuences have to contend.

TrIaI Of the MARY w. LIhhx

A merry party of city officials and invited
guests, numbering forty-three, including the
Treasurer, Auditor, Assessors, most of the
Aldermen and Councilmen, also Drs. Hunt
and Smith, went down to Peaks Island yes
terday on the fire boat Mary w. Libby, for a
practical test of the workings of the boat.
Upon arriving at the island the boat laid at
the wharf Of the Forest City Steamboat
Company. Eight hundred and fifty feet of
hose were laid and the exhibition was COM
menced by sending single stream through
one and one-eighth inch nozzle. Then a.
a double stream was tried with a one inch
nozzle, the stream playing over the flagstaff
on the Forest City Rink. Then four streams
were tried through three-quarter inch noz-
zles. The johnson pump. which was put in
some little time ago and all the machinery of
the boat was found in perfect working order.
The exhibition was in charge of Chief
Cloyes and the full Board of Engineers. 1t
was said to have been the largest delegation
ever known to have attended an exhibition
Of the kind in this vicinity. The party were
afterwards kindly entertained y Mr.. G. HI.
Knowlton at Greenwood Garden and by Mr..
Norman at the Pavilion. The arty also en-
j0yed ride on the roller coaster and then
adjourned to the Peaks Island House for
supper. They speak highly of the kind at
tentions of Mr. Sawyer. Taken altogether
the occasion was regarded as success and
will be remembered with pleasure by the
participants.

HARBoR IMPROVEMENTS.
What Major Smith Says About Port
land Harbor.

The PRESS yesterday morning gave a sy-
nopsis of Maj. j. A. Smiths report on the
harbor improvements for Maine. The fol-
lowing is what the Major says about Port
land harbor:
The shoals in the harbor of Portland have
been dredged so that where there was before
depth of less than sixteen feet at mean low
water there is now depth of over seventeen
feet, and the area having twenty-one feet
depth at low water was extended across the
entire front of the Gulf wharf. This work
completed all the projects which. had been
approved when the contract was completed
July IA. The project adopted for the i'm
provement under the act of August 5, 1886,
which appropriated $4,000 for the work,
consists of dredging channel SEQ feet wide
and twenty-nine feet deep at mean low water
from the deep water of the channel to the
front where the largest steamers lie while re-
ceiving and discharging cargOes. 1t is esti-
mated that 200, 600 yards will have been dredg-
ed when the contract is closed at the end of
the present season. The amount necessary
to be appropriated to complete the work is
estimated at $105,0C9.
The project for the improvement of the
channel at Back Cove consists in dredging to
deepen and straighten the channel so that it
shall have depth of not less than twelve
feet at mean low water, and a width of 300
feet for distance of about 5000 feet. IL is es-
timated that the entire cost of this work will
be $4,000. OF this sum S26 $50 was appro-
priated August 8. 1886, and the contract
awarded under that appropriation will result
in channel seventy-two feet wide and more
than 1000 feet long NThe contract will be
fulfilled during the present season.
